Dear Mr. Brumleve,

I ask that you consider me for your front-end development team at Fixd Repair, as I believe I would make an excellent addition due to my education and job experience. I recently graduated from the Turing School of Software and Design's front end coding program, where I learned programming languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, and React. As a member of your team, I would maintain a stream-lined experience for your customers by writing code that prioritizes the user's needs.

Outreach & Networking Plan

As we've discussed, meeting people, forming relationships, and having conversations are the key pieces to getting your foot in the door at any company. It's important to be proactive in your approach to outreach and networking, so it's necessary to make a plan for what you'll try to further your networking.

Identify a contact you will reach out to by the end of this module. This could be a mentor, alum, or anyone from your current network. Describe:

1. Who your contact is, why you want to connect with them, and what you want to talk about

An old co-worker who encouraged me to look into programming. They know a lot of programmers, some of which are hiring managers, so I want to talk with him about growing my network through his.

2. When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet

I will probably text him this week and try to set up a time to meet up with him next week, he'll probably want me to come over to his house.

3. What your follow-up will look like once

Professional Story Draft

Professional Narrative

Before I got into programming I worked mostly jobs that involved manual labor and/or customer service. At first, I really enjoyed the physicality of the work and helping customers. After awhile I began to want more, I didn't want to just sell things, I wanted to feel like I was making a difference in the world. I entered the world of programming by chance, but immediately fell in love with the problem-solving nature of it. Once I discovered how much impact software can have on the world, I was all-in.

During my time at Turing, I've developed my leadership skills as well as my programming skills. Previously, on the job I suffered from imposter syndrome, feeling like I wasn't qualified to be in a leadership position. Turing has helped me realize that having a clear vision of how a project should be executed and being able to communicate ideas, qualities I already had, were the only real requirements for being a leader. When I'm further along in my programming career, I plan on b

Agile & Feedback Reflection
  1. What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?

Agile is a lot like waterfall, but it is like a bunch of short waterfalls with user input in between to refocus the development.

  1. How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)?

We used a project board on Trello and communication through Slack and pull requests on GitHub. We held each other accountable through check-ins and approving pull requests or requesting changes.

  1. What role did you take on in the project?

Build-a-bear DTR

DTR: Define the Relationship

One teammate should copy and paste the raw markdown into a gist of your own.

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:

  • What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches? pair programming for features than overlap, divide-and-conquer for isolated features
  • How do you communicate best? How do you appreciate receiving communication from others? check-ins, slack, github comments

DTR

DTR: Define the Relationship

Use this template to when conducting DTR with your project partners. It's recommended that you copy/paste this template into your own gist each time you conduct a DTR to take notes on the conversation.

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:

  • What are each of our learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project? Meeting project expectations in a timely manner. NOT LAST MINUTE.
  • What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches? Divide up sections we're both comfortable with, work together if one us is struggling with the concept so that the other can walk them through it.
  • How do you communicate best? How do you appreciate receiving communication from others? Written communication is best. Slack is preferred.
  • How would you describe your work style? Break the work into sections and methodically move through them.

Code Tidbits

HTML <kbd> Tag

Link Here

<kbd> is an inline html tag that is useful for denoting keyboard buttons. By default it gives the text the monospace font, but through a little bit of CSS styling it can make them look more like the buttons they represent. I plan to use this to make my code more accessible through better use of semantic tags, and also easier to read by making keyboard commands immediately recognizable.
